I don't know.  Before you removed stamp-vcl, building would not work
without GNU make at all.

Feel free to work on this.  My allocated time for this particular issue
is about expired; I can post updates to README* though, depending on the
outcome of this.

Repeating the above question: OK to apply?  If not, then ok to revert
the 2007-03-29, 2007-03-26 changes?

Cheers, and thanks for the review,
Ralf
